Chapter 61: Lightning Change
Normal-level creatures were referred to as normal creatures. Apart from the fact that they were larger than they had been before the time halt, there was no other difference.
Rare-ranked creatures were no longer normal creatures. Their strength, lifespan, and intelligence had strengthened further. At the same time, their willpower and their souls had gotten stronger.
The Epic stage contained an imposing field. It could suppress the strength of the surrounding creatures and crush the enemy psychologically like a halo that could weaken the surrounding enemies. When facing weak creatures, one could even immobilize them with the imposing field.
Just like the ‘Dragon Might’ recorded in historical literature, it could suppress weak enemies.
Wei Huo finally understood what it meant to be at the Epic stage. The Epic stage did not surpass the physical limits of one’s body but the sublimation of one’s soul and willpower. At the Epic stage, one could suppress the enemy with their imposing aura and reduce the enemy’s strength even when facing creatures with stronger attack power.
In other words, if an Epic-ranked creature were to face an ordinary person, even if that ordinary person had an extremely powerful weapon in their hands, they would not be able to move due to the imposing aura of the Epic-ranked creature. No weapon would allow them to escape death!
That was what the Epic stage was like!
Wei Huo could barely avoid the multi-headed snake’s attacks in the Massacre Mode. If he had not activated the Massacre Mode, he would have been immobilized by the imposing field.
However, even though Wei Huo had activated the semi-finished imposing field, his strength was still suppressed by nearly 50 percent. In other words, his Attack was reduced by half in the presence of the Hydra!
Fortunately, the multi-headed snake was not very agile. Although it kept attacking Wei Huo, Wei Huo’s movements were agile because he was small. Most importantly, his years of persistent training finally had an effect. He had a strong physique and a high attack stat. Even though he was suppressed half-way, he could still barely avoid the multi-headed snake’s attacks.
Since he could barely dodge, he could also attack. After dodging a few more times, Wei Huo finally understood that the so-called Epic stage was only epic because the imposing field could suppress the enemy’s strength. Whether the Epic stage would completely suppress the enemy would depend on the combat power of both parties!
Wei Huo pulled out his bronze sword immediately. Lightning surrounded his body, and his eyes were as red as though they were glowing. Every time he moved, it seemed as if two red lights were moving in parallel, drawing red lines in the air.
Wei Huo’s speed suddenly soared. The electricity and the Qi Belt gave him immense strength and speed. The bronze sword in his hand drew an arc and slashed at the snake’s tail. However, the snake’s sharp scales blocked the sword.
The incredibly sharp and muddy bronze sword could not break through its defense?
Wei Huo was a little surprised. The snake’s tail swept over again and sent Wei Huo flying dozens of meters away before he smashed into a bronze pillar, causing it to cave in.
Wei Huo felt his Qi and blood rolling in his body as blood trickled down the corners of his mouth.
No!
Wei Huo frowned. Not only could the imposing field weaken the enemy’s strength, but it could also increase his own strength!
The multi-headed snake rushed over, but Wei Huo dodged it. The bronze pillar was then snapped by the snake.
Wei Huo clenched his teeth, threw away his bronze sword, and took out his hunting knife.
His invincible hunting knife should be rewarded!
Wei Huo charged forward and thrust his hunting knife into the multi-headed snake’s retreating knee. A moment later, blood splattered on his knee.
The invincible hunting knife could indeed break through every defense!
The hunting knife did not have an impressive name, but its effect was obvious. It could cut through any kind of bone or fur.
Wei Huo suspected that the knife was imbued with Rule Power.
This was just like the famous game ‘X-Hunter’. The monsters in the game would not die even after being hit by a sharp knife for half a day. However, by using a hunting knife, one could easily gather all kinds of materials, such as tough armor, sharp claws, and poisonous dragon sacs.
Indeed, one should not think too much about the game. One would realize that it was not realistic after thinking about it.
Seeing how powerful the hunting knife was, Wei Huo kept moving left and right. He kept using his hunting knife to avoid the multi-headed snake’s attacks.
Finally, the multi-headed snake became furious. Its three heads roared furiously as the imposing field suddenly shrank and wrapped itself around its body. However, Wei Huo was repelled by the imposing field after stabbing it!
He was shocked. “Is this Inner Qi or Will Qi Protection?”
The multi-headed snake’s move was similar to his inner Qi. However, the multi-headed snake did not know how to cultivate Qi. It did not have any Qi in its body either. It only had an imposing Qi field, and the imposing Qi field had nothing to do with Qi energy. It was just a matter related to the mind.
The imposing field shrank, and Wei Huo’s suppressed strength recovered. However, the defense of the multi-headed snake increased tremendously. Because the hunting knife could not touch its body, it could not exert its Rule Power.
Wei Huo put away his hunting knife and shouted, “This is my full strength!”
Wei Huo channeled all the Qi energy in his body. A moment later, countless lightning bolts appeared all over his body. His left eye turned snow-white as dazzling lightning burst and flashed out of his left eye before eventually forming a lightning armor around his body.
That was Wei Huo’s skill—Lightning Change!
As soon as Wei Huo turned on his Lightning Change Skill, his speed instantly increased several times. The electric gas allowed him to break through the reaction limit of living creatures, letting his speed reach a terrifying peak. His left eye’s Thunder Eye allowed him to see electric fields and magnetic fields that normal people could not see. The ability to control electricity gave him the ability to control magnetism.
This was the Lightning Change. It could instantly turn him into a lightning mage who could control lightning.
The multi-headed snake compressed the imposing field. Its defense and destructive power had greatly improved, but a moment after it charged toward Wei Huo, Wei Huo disappeared, leaving only a lightning afterimage behind.
As the multi-headed snake approached, the lightning afterimage instantly exploded. The lightning penetrated the aura field of the multi-headed snake and instantly covered its body. The speed of the multi-headed snake suddenly decreased when it was paralyzed by the lightning!
At that moment, Wei Huo appeared above its head. A fist wrapped in lightning struck down, and the terrifying power of lightning penetrated its imposing field. Unfortunately, it did not penetrate the thick scales of the Hydra.
However, the lightning had successfully paralyzed the multi-headed snake’s body. Wei Huo threw punches repeatedly at it. The lightning made it seem like it was natural for it to counter the imposing field, which could not do anything about the lightning, as it was capable of disrupting the nearby magnetic field and electric waves.
Wei Huo kept throwing punches non stop. There was nothing in his mind at the moment. He did not dare relax while facing an Epic-ranked creature, and he was already using his full strength because his Qi was being depleted rapidly.
The terrifying lightning paralyzed the multi-headed snake and gradually weakened its imposing aura. However, Wei Huo would only be able to wait for death if he ran out of inner Qi!
